These are the things that giving shows:
HOW FOCUSED WE ARE INDIVIDUALLY
HOW LOVING WE ARE
HOW COMMITTED WE ARE
HOW GREEDY WE ARE
HOW WILLING WE ARE FOR GOD’S WORK TO BE DONE
HOW WE CARE ABOUT GOD’S WORKERS AND THE NEEDY (I.E. DO WE HAVE THE HEART OF JESUS?)
HOW GENEROUS WE ARE
WHAT WE GIVE, NOT WHAT WE DON’T OR CAN’T GIVE
WHAT PLACE THE SPIRIT HAS IN OUR LIVES (Martyn Lloyd-Jones commented on why the early Christians met so much. They did not want to miss out on what the Holy Spirit was going to do in the assembly.)
WHEN WE ARE READY TO ACT FOR GOD (LIKE THE MINUTEMEN)
WHERE OUR HEART IS (IT SHOWS WHAT WE’RE ALL ABOUT)
WHO WE ARE
WHERE WE’VE BEEN (at work) AND WHERE WE’RE GOING (to heaven)
WHY WE ARE LIVING
God sees the heart. Taking these things into account, what do you want Him to see when you give, both in the offering plate and in help to your neighbors?
